Symptoms, remedies, treatments and care for Asthma

Asthma

Asthma is a respiratory condition marked by spasms in the bronchi of the lungs, causing difficulty in breathing, wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing. It usually results from an allergic reaction or other forms of hypersensitivity.

Asthma is one of the most common chronic childhood illnesses, but it can happen to adults too. Occupational asthma is caused by inhaling fumes, gases, dust or other potentially harmful substances while on the job.
